Babies...the Dutch ones are best!

Dutch Babies.

Have you ever made one?

Better than pancakes.

Way better than waffles.

And so easy...they don't need to be watched or flipped.

Or even made one by one.

Just one pan,

a lot of butter,

and an oven.

Dutch Babies

6 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 t. vanilla
1/8 t. grated lemon zest
1 1/2 cups flour
1 t. salt
1 t. baking powder
1/3 cup butter

Whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla until creamy.
Stir in grated lemon zest. (I hardly ever have lemon zest!)
Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder and stir into egg mixture.
Allow batter to rest for 30 minutes. (I hardly ever do this either!)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
When pancake batter has rested, place butter in an oven-proof frying pan.
Place pan in oven and allow butter to melt without browning.
Once your butter has melted, remove pan from oven and use pastry brush to coat surface and side of pan evenly with the melted butter.
Pour pancake batter into the hot, buttered pan and return to oven.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until puffed and golden.

I like to serve this with maple syrup and a sprinkling of powdered sugar.

Enjoy!
